the President on his merits. If he had prov
ed to be merely all ordinary politician, doing
the work his party demanded in the usual
way, he would have been generally ignored.
The country would have been Indifferent to
him, and his party would have shared the fate
reserved fcr nm. The course Of things has,
however, been very different. The President
has shown himself independent and conscien-

grateful for it and proud Of him. The few
disappointed gentlemen who now seek to
injure him by shelving that he has not been
a mere distributor of patronage at the dicta-

A Man Who Lived Like a Pauper, But
 Gave Like King.
 Charles Sumner always lived within his income and never incurred debt that he had not the means of paying Lt-thc time it hecame due, says Ar mold Burges J6h,son. Within his in- come he was first just then generous. During his first term in the Senate he was dependent upon his pay as Sena- tor and little copyright money for his support, although during por- ton of that time he added somewhat to the support by lectures. In his lat ter days, however, he was rendered a small fortune that came to him from the successive death of several relatives. For much of his life he was a poor man in straitened ciFcum- stances, but he would never be obliged to any one for any thing but kindness. He would not allow anoth- CT to pay any expense that he incurred, not even a horse-car fare. In stump ing during the Presidential election he would never allow the Congressman in whose district he spoke, and who was to be benefited most by his eff forts. to pay even his railroad fare. He was no gift-taker; he would inter- change gifts as well as kind offices with others, but the balance of the ob- ligation was never allowed to remain on his side. His generosity to the servants of the houses in which he lived was proverbial. Sam Ward said that he lived like a pauper, but he gave like King. No one can won- der that the servants even temporarily in his employ were attached to him when his consideration for, as well as his generosity to them, is fully under stood. CosmopoLitan.

About the Giraffe.

The giraffe is found in Africa He is the tallest of all animals. usually about fifteen feet high. He has two short horns, covered with hairy skin. One of the strangest things about him is his tongue, which is very long; he can put it a great way out of his mouth. and twist it round a twig or bough which he wishes to break off. Yet he can put it inside the ring of small key.
 Giraffes live in herds; about twenty feed together. While they are feeding. they have sentinels placed ready to give warning if an enemy is coming. They can see a great way of; their scent is keen. They are swift run ners, so it is not easy for hunters to catch them.
 The giraffe defends himself braVely against an enemy. When he fights, he kicks very hard with his hind-legs. and sometimes he turns hIs long neck sidewise and strikes hard blow with his head. In these ways he will con- quer even lion.
 But the lion sometimes attacks the giraffe in such way that he can not resist. He hides himself near the stream where the giraffe comes to drink; when he is drinking the lion springs upon his back and holds on with his cruel claws. The poor giraffe runs until he is wearied out, when the lion tears him to pieces.
 He is easily tanned. is very loving. and licks the hand of the person that feeds him.. He does not eat meat. but feeds on grass and leaves. When tanned he eats corn and hay like the COW. Like the COW, too. he chews the cub. Animals that chew the cud are called ruminating animals -PGn1eLG McA- Cole, ID Our Little Hen aud Women.
